Public Policy Programs

The Institute's public policy programs have a strong history in our nation's capital. With President Eisenhower as its model, the Institute pursues a domestic and international policy agenda driven by the rigorous pursuit of facts, respectful dialogue among stakeholders, and a focus on the future. Policy themes based on these objectives are chosen on a multi-year basis. Programming events include Washington Roundtables, book events, lectures, policy discussions on Capitol Hill, and frequent outreach publications. Programs are offered on campus in Gettysburg and in Washington. Transportation is provided to students and faculty for events in Washington.

Current policy programs fall under the following themes:

Building International Partnerships

• Future of Space: The Next Strategic Frontier
• Safeguarding the Atom

Civil Rights: Looking Back and Moving Forward

Poverty and Public Policy: Strategies for the 21st Century

The Role of the U.S. in the World

The Institute has been conducting public policy programs in Washington, DC since 2000. Past policy themes can be found using the following link:
